I stumbled on your page looking at budget key cutters. I now want to kit my T5 out and be a trainee locksmith!!!!! Great video

I wish I could post a video of the new van we build last week, even better ,, but for security reasons I cant show it

Good tip on the toilet paper 👍

[@lostandfound1004]

Im not sure if you ever use a router(trim router) for your projects but Templaco makes some useful stuff for wood doors. Not sure where you located but is helpful in the states. It is a little more accurate and faster for me when doing deadbolt strikes and latches. Doesnt look like you could add anything else, lol. Anyway thanks for sharing!

[@adrianguerrero100]

You are the. Mobile Doc u took locksmith to the 21 century

[@DrLockShop]

Thanks mate

[@Nitrxgen]

I'm surprised you don't have CCTV in there. Locksmith vans get broken into a lot where I am. It's common they cut through the roof. Thanks for the tour :)

[@DrLockShop]

The van is being upgraded, so soon it will be empty. CCTV will only give you a photo of the person. But it dose have CCTV 2 cameras, that connects to the mobile, some other security that was not mentions. The only effective method is to keep the van in sight and stay close to it. Cutting the roof is a bit extreme, but I will install a new sensor on the new van, on the roof. Thanks for the tip

Pimpin that adrev on this one bro

[@randyaivaz3356]

Nice Setup, think I saw a couple Long Reach Tools, am sure you have other Auto Lockout tools, I might turn that Crate upside down, Cushion on plywood and use the Crate for Storage(Jumper Cables, Oil?) Nice. Stratmando

[@marcd1981]

Not sure if you are still responding to this video, looks like it was posted about 3 1/2 years ago. I recently started looking into becoming a locksmith. With the pandemic still going on, I was wondering how much of what you need to learn can be learned remotely. I saw a locksmith video school, where besides the videos covering the necessary areas to know, you receive tools, practice locks / keys and a manual with workbook for the lessons. I had originally thought you would have to go to work for someone, or a company, more as an apprentice and learn the trade as you go. Thank you, and very impressive job with the van!

[@sabas02183]

@Dr lock I really like your van design I’m about to get started to in the field and I’m hoping to have a simple nice setup if you do t mind me as what is the width and height of the shelf that contain the cutting tools and also the width of the passage are. And for those yellow plastic contain where did you find them

[@patadperro20]

amazing ,and what about your Tcode and programing tools regards

[@mastertech1992]

What kind you recommend to program new dodge and ford like 2018 to get the code out

[@crestonriley6481]

that's such a great setup.. thanks for a few ideas, cause right now my van is unmanageable to say the least.. where would you work in panic bars to a setup like this? cause my van is quite similar, (2015 transit) and much respect on how you laid out your electrical system. how can you run all of that without the engine running?

[@DrLockShop]

Hi, I dont often work on panic bars, Its all run from a second battery. 120 amp deep cycle, it never let me down , but I have now moved up to a 250 amp , and using an inverter 2000w - 3000w peek - pure sign wave

[@4EntertainmentOnly]

better to buy dawn dish soap for hand soap. a bottle filled with water attached to a foot pump for a quick hand washing and eye washing station

[@mickread9501]

Great Vid! Quick question if I may... do you do all your inverter/power setup yourself? I am setting up my 2nd van and have no idea where to start. Did you get an auto elec to do it for you?

[@DrLockShop]

I setup the power, I was quoted $1500 to set it up + parts and the parts are not cheap. You need to know what you are doing, or you can burn your van out, or have problems if you get it wrong.

[@peterdambra6387]

Great Van. Why retire it.? Looks like it’s got a lot of life in it. Thanks for the tour.

[@DrLockShop]

I have a better one now

[@ppassmore25]

That's a lot of outlay for a locksmith, you must have some great contracts.

[@DrLockShop]

Some locksmiths have spent much more, but they don't show it because people would steel it.

[@thedoaba]

can do some reviews on car key programmers please

[@steamgadget]

Your van is incredible! I will watch your other videos after this, but I have to wonder.. I read some of the comments and you said you got another van, a better one. After watching this video I can only imagine your new van could possibly; take flight/hover, is also a submarine, or can time travel.. pretty amazing setup you have there, thank you for sharing!

[@DrLockShop]

My motor home can time travel, I go to seep and wake up in a new state

[@steamgadget]

@@DrLockShop HA! awesome!

[@lukej452]

Lovely van setup, but my god I would be worried about it being broken into with it being sign written, one of the things we have to weigh up I guess between looking professional and the extra advertising, vs welcoming unwanted guests.

[@RR-zk2yp]

Hi great video. I love the layout of your van. Can you or anyone let me know where you got the rubbish bin from. Thanks.

[@DrLockShop]

Daisco , its thin plastic, see this link for a better one www.roadtechmarine.com.au/wall-mount-rubbish-bin-280-h-x-130-w-mm/p/RCI125

Dr Lock that’s great. Thanks for the reply. Loving your videos.

[@DrLockShop]

Thanks mate

[@bobgartman7149]

You can go to the Alabams Locksmiths Association and turn them in for not being licensed!!

[@lostandfound1004]

Hey, came across your video and had a question. How do you like the latchmate?

[@DrLockShop]

Hi, its ok but I don't use it much , I use a standard wood chisel more

[@DrLockShop]

Hi, the latch mate is good, but I use a standard chisels most the time , old school habits I guess

[@DavidLopez-gn3bi]

Thanks Were to bay key holder at your left door

[@DrLockShop]

That key holder saves me time, has all the standard keys next to the machine, I use this on my new van too, works well

[@mastertech1992]

I have a question what you think about pro pad 2 from xtool

[@DrLockShop]

I don't have one so I can't say

[@mastertech1992]

Congratulations you invest alot of money on you van

[@DrLockShop]

Some locksmith have spent much more, some have spent much less. The better the van the more you can offer your customers

[@kaixu7401]

Hi Master so did you do the build up yourself or by a company?

[@DrLockShop]

Hi, I have the bench built, we do the rest

i wanna know what the huge lego head is used for ??!!??

You will notice this locksmith has a great sense of humor mate.

[@wkb9683]

How is that van taking that weight? 600kg max so have you upgraded the leaf springs?

[@DrLockShop]

I had to install air bags , to lift the car up at the back, and yes it slow

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

@@DrLockShop What's the gas mileage?

[@DrLockShop]

Super bad small motor and lots of weight + city driving

[@moaciroliveiradasilva8835]

Aqui no Brasil estou montando uma VW VAN que é a VW CADDY pena aqui não a ter com porta lateral.mais é meu sonho.sou VANCHAVES 🔑🗝.

[@DrLockShop]

Confira também meus outros exemplos de furgões de serralheiro, a porta lateral para mim é obrigatória, o acesso traseiro não é suficiente, você tem que passar por cima de todas as ferramentas e caixas, em um dia agitado pode ser mais difícil do que precisa ser , venda a carrinha e compre duas portas de correr. Faça certo e será melhor para você a longo prazo

[@simbiote89]

Any advice for someone looking to do an apprenticeship?

[@DrLockShop]

Don't do it unless you enjoy it. best advice I can give you

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

I have an apprenticeship position open. I recommend first taking a corresponance course, such as Foley-Belsaw.... THEN apply with my firm.

[@adrianguerrero100]

Where are u located

[@timm5970]

Sounds like a pretty big investment in tools. What kind of return do you see off the investment? Never really thought you could make decent money making keys

[@DrLockShop]

Depends on the person using the van, cutting keys dose not make money, making keys and locks makes more

[@moaciroliveiradasilva8835]

Só se vê o valor que um chaveiro ganha quando se perde as chaves no dia e na hora errada.

Whats the lego guy for?
